Thanks to the Supply Chain Channel for picking up this story. Supply Chain, it never stands still. “If you are doing tomorrow what you were doing yesterday, you are likely going backwards”.

As the appetite for online shopping continues to accelerate, same-day delivery has gone from a ‘nice to have’ to an essential capability for retailers.

FedEx walked away from Amazon, one of the USA's most significant freight and distribution contracts in 2019. Reports are UPS will follow suit.

These two freight giants are leading the way in pushing back declaring loudly, that the days of accepting low yields in return for large volumes are over, and that expecting low freight costs for large volumes is no longer a sustainable cost-saving strategy.

Moving forward, to impact your freight spend, companies will need to look beyond the rates. Freight tasks will need to be smarter, not cheaper.

PART 2: Victory in the Battle Of COVID-19
Last week we compared the challenges facing business as a result of COVID-19 to those of a battle. We quoted Sun Tzu who said that “victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win”. Prological suggested implementing a planning programme that accounts for various scenarios as a way to position your business to achieve the best outcomes.

Supported by our expertise and experience as international supply chain and logistics consultants, we have put together these practical initiatives to guide your business to victory.

PART 1: In the Art of War, Sun Tzu wrote: “Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win” (6th Century BC).

Today, businesses everywhere are fighting a battle against COVID-19 as we find and forge a path against the impact on our lives and livelihoods. Those who emerge victorious, as Sun Tzu says, are those who are prepared. That preparation will require planning for a range of possible scenarios.

Each unique supply chain plan developed will need to work in tandem with a bespoke customer strategy. This is typically defined by your sales team or those with an intimate understanding of your customer’s needs. When communicating changes to your service promise, digital comms will not replace the value of good, clear and inter-personal communication during transitional phases.

Agility and flexibility underpinned by well-developed planning will set your business up for success in this battle. By not investing the time and resources into planning, and instead of trusting the ability of your business to be suitably reactive, may inadvertently expose your business to significant risk.
